I have a tzr 125 engine which i plan to mount to my go kart. I have removed all the wiring and now just have the regulater, cdi and another black box which i think is for the power valve. There is a few wires left over and i'm not sure what to connect them to and which ones are usless and what wires to earth and attach to the coil. Also on the regulater there is a block with 3 white wires these connect straight to the stator and there is also red and black that i take it they go to the battery but there is a brown one and i'm not sure were it goes. I really need the help please email me on [email protected] if you can help. thanks

Hi. I am driving myself mad trawling through loads of websites and forums but now thought I will try a shortcut. Basically I wish to replicate a XT500 flat tracker which I want for road use. All I wish to know is that there an easy way to change the front end to a smaller wheel (maybe a mag one) and normal front mudguard.

The general opinion I am getting is that XS650/SR500 would do it but I think these are going to be to hard to come across. Check out some of XT and TT's on this website to see what I mean http://www.vft.org/vftforsale2.html Is there someone out there who has done…
